A rescue dog was so badly behaved after being mistreated by drug addict owners that no one would keep him for more than a year.
But now Horus has become the star pupil at his obedience school after mastering 50 commands... in sign language.

His luck changed when he was taken in by sign language enthusiast Rosie Gibbs, 30, who used Makaton - a basic form of sign language often used on children - to train him.

Now five-year-old Horus is a happy healthy pet and has memorised 56 commands including 'sit', 'stay', 'pay attention', 'play' and he has also been taught to open drawers.

Many many many many dog owners can't handle the dogs they end up getting. There are owners who can only have one kind of dog and without knowing it they get another. Then they think it's the dog's fault for being misbehaved and such when it's usually the owner who is a jackass and can't train a dog properly.

what a great happy ending . hate the part he was ever abused , there should be harsher laws to anyone who abuses animals as thats the start of a very sick disturbed person and if you dont get them at the start it moves on to sicker things with people. And i sure hope they treat animal abusers in jail the same way they treat child abusers , to me its the same cowardly thing
